A new campaign, #RespectTheCreators, is setting out to change an overlooked issue in the music industry: crediting the music played in social media videos.<\/p>\n
Backed by prominent artists and organizations such as\u00a0the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM) and\u00a0techno pioneer Richie Hawtin,\u00a0the campaign encourages DJs, promoters and platforms to give proper recognition to the tracks they play during live events and embed in promotional posts.<\/p>\n
While live footage of DJ sets and festivals has become a major tool for marketing, the music that fuels these moments often goes uncredited, robbing the original creators of recognition and opportunities. The campaign aims to establish a new industry standard for crediting the music featured in these viral posts.<\/p>\n
“Supporting the community and the musicians who make the musical structure that our scene stands on should be common decency,” said Hawtin. “So why do so many social media posts from DJs, promoters, and festivals fail to tag the music being played? It\u2019s disrespectful\u00a0and only takes further advantage of the musicians who are already struggling for recognition.”<\/p>\n
